Aston Villa are still without the injured Jack Grealish.

According to The Mirror, Aston Villa playmaker Jack Grealish is aiming to be back in action for the game against Sheffield United on February 8th.

Villa lost 3-0 away at Wigan Athletic on Saturday afternoon, again underlining the huge job Dean Smith is facing at Villa Park, having lost 3-0 to Swansea City in their previous outing.

Villa need to hit back soon, but it’s hard for Smith’s side to play their best football without injured playmaker Grealish.

The 23-year-old may only have two goals and four assists this season, but he has continued to impress after a summer move to Tottenham fell through.

However, Grealish is the Championship’s most fouled player, and that ended up with Grealish picking up a shin injury against West Bromwich Albion last month.

Grealish has been out for more than a month now, and The Mirror report that Grealish is still expected to miss another three games yet.

The attacking midfielder is now aiming to be back for the February 8th clash against Sheffield United, missing games against Hull City, Ipswich Town and Reading.

That will bring the total of games Grealish has missed to a whopping 10, and Villa will hope that he is back sooner rather than later.
